Completely agreed. I use archers to take care of single/double building compartments as well. I think Daddy's generally idea for those islands is they provide a surprise element to inexperienced WB-users, much like the zigzags configurations pre-patch.Quote:

Given the recent changes with the decorations we are pretty much screwed as far as trying to manipulate unit pathing.
Well Over the last 2 months I have been testing my hybrid and unfortunately as strong as it has held - it as always been weak at 2-4 spots that had T-junctions. I attempted to place spring traps @ T-junction locations which worked, but after they were set off and the next attack comes they would get it with one set.
With this method I have been able to last multiple attacks and win due to the attackers WB's failing and their units getting stuck at the 2nd/3rd set of walls due to running out of WB.
The goal is initially place a non-defensive 3x3 structure offset against the T-junction. On the side of the T-junction that is closer to the junction use spring traps and/or bombs on the opposite side of the building to assist your defenses in taking them down.
In addition - when you get regular decorations @ or around junction - adjust the defensive buildings 1 tile to the left/right so that it works in unison with the decoration. The building will force the WB to go to one side. The decoration will force it to go 2 tiles to the other side depending on what type of decoration it is. Bigger are better obviously but we beggar's cant be choosers ;p
It definitely is not as good as the decorations pre-update nor will it work everything however I have watched enough defensive replays to see that attackers pushing from 1 of 2 sides thinking that the T-junction is the way to go get randomly stopped at the 2nd section due to lack of WBs .
Hope this helps those who are unable to adjust all of their T-junctions..

correct. neither junliangs method or mine is 100% effective, but it helps. It's a little easier to accurately plan the wb deployment with an ipad but most use their iphones and always just a tad off. at least for those that are not stacking their troop composition with 12+ WB will have an issue if they take the bait.Quote:

darn spammers..
My apology for such a delayed response. I have been lurking and saw this topic being discussed. Been very busy, so I waited until I have a bit more time to add a proper reply.Quote:

It is something very minor, but differentiates the hardcore/enthusiastic players from the casuals. Great find!
Hey all, I know this thread has been inactive for a while lol, but I have been recently thinking about AI Pathing not only for wall breakers, but for air troops as well.
A highly effective and dangerous (if your base is attacked with) army known as the Balloonion army has become more popular in Clash. From searching, I haven't found any bases that would be considered an Anti-Balloonion base.
As this thread has many posts from the game's most respected and well-known base designers, Pingfao and Junliang, including many other AI enthusiasts like Daddy, I was wondering if you guys would be able to design a first ever Anti-Balloonion base. :D
Of course I will be experimenting with air troop AI pathing in designing my base, I just feel that many people on this thread have had much more experience than I did in AI pathing and base designing.
If there already is an Anti-Balloonion base, I must have missed it lol. :D Please let me know if there is one.
Happy Clashing!
